Belgian-style quadrupel ale brewed with spices

Tradition and innovation, consider this a blend. We innovated by staying the course. This quadruple ale sings traditionally familiar notes of dark sugar, caramel, spice, and a Bruery twist with the addition of poached pear, for a well balanced, fruit-forward, ale. Meant to be shared over special occasions with family and friends.

Small patches of lace. Yeast, dark fruit and malt in the nose. Full-bodied with flavors of Belgian yeast, dark fruit, caramel malt and a bit of spice. The finish is spiced fruit and yeast. Pretty good overall.

Bottle shared during the 2016 RB Best Awards. Big thanks to Pete for sharing this whale with the fellas. Pours clear amber with a creamy topping. Heavy liquefied caramel in the nose, along with figs, dates, bread and fruitcake. Richly sweet flavour, with moderate suggestions of oxidation, more bread, caramel, ripened semi-dark fruits. Full bodied, chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming on the finish, with more hearty caramel, faint cocoa, earthy bitterness, dried fruits. Nice stuff overall. Has aged pretty well.
